  1. Sent my husband out for the paper and despite it saying it was $4.50 right on it (which he didn't realize) they charged him $7.99. He brought the paper home and it had Macy's, Home Depot, Penney's, Bloomingdales (which is stupid since there isn't one near here) Boscov's, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Shoe Carnival. No Walmart, Target, Best Buy, no craft stores. I miss paper ads!

  2. I think the only reason they're doing it is because things start so early online now there's really no reason for them to open on Thanksgiving. They don't want to pay employees overtime pay to work Thanksgiving if they don't have to that. For years they had no problem with forcing their employees to work Thanksgiving but now that it doesn't really benefit them as much they aren't going to do it. Target was one of the worst ones with backing up their times from early BF morning until we ended up having to shop on Thanksgiving.  

     

    With online sales what they are now I don't think we will see things ever return to the way they used to be on BF.

  3. I was surprised there was no My Life stuff either. Guess I'll have to have hope that TRU has Journey Girl stuff. There wasn't as much as I'd usually buy. I'm surprised Hatchimals were listed. Wonder what the odds are that they'll actually have it.
  4. Christmas Eve is my favorite day of the whole year. We used to dinner with family but for years now we've done finger foods with just our little family. I make a bunch of unhealthy delicious stuff and we sit around the living room eating and watching a Christmas movie. Then we open a gift (always pajamas), put them on and drive around looking at lights.

  5. I think with the way store opening times are not it seems to have helped with the mad rush at store openings. I think as long as you and your daughter feel comfortable and you think the dog will handle it okay you should go. I'd probably stay away from the items that people are more likely to go crazy over like electronics. If you need those items maybe you could split up with another family member so one can get those items and someone can stay with your daughter.

     

    Whatever you decide I wish your family well.

  6. The Legos was one of the few things that looked good to me. I'll definitely try to get those but there's no way in hell that I'll be there for their store opening. I plan to be enjoying my pumpkin pie right around that time. I'll probably pick up some of the cheap kids pajamas if there are any left by the time I get there.

     

    I'm really disappointed that neither Walmart nor Target have any good deals on their brands of American Girl type doll accessories.

  7. I'm glad they didn't go earlier. Sounds like they've stepped up their game though. Online layaway sounds nice and they're making it easier to find items in store. Sounds good to me. I've never had a bad BF experience at TRU though. They always have tons of employees throughout the store offering help and even though the line is a million miles long it moves at a steady pace.

  8. Kohl's seems to be trying to get into the electronics game. My parents just bought a printer there a few weeks ago and that's not something that they ever sold before. I've noticed more and more electronic goods popping up in their stores.

     

    I only shop their BF ad online. I went to Kohl's one year on BF and I'll never make that mistake again! I'm usually able to get everything I want online and have it delivered right to my door which is awesome!

  9. Is anyone else annoyed with all of the stores that do the staggered sale times? There are stores have XYZ on sale from 6 a.m - 5 p.m and then ABC is on sale from 7 p.m until 3 a.m. over the course of Thursday and Friday. It makes it harder to keep track and I hate when I want stuff from 2 or 3 parts of the sale. I don't want to visit the same store 3 times!
